Animal Antics A to Z author Barbara deRubertis chats with Books on the House!*

About the Author

Barbara deRubertis’s understanding of how children learn and what engages their imagination has been acquired over her 33 years of experience as a classroom teacher and as an elementary school librarian. Barbara has written more than 40 books for children, including Kane Press’s popular Let’s Read Together® series, about which School Library Journal wrote: “Story lines are silly and inventive and recall Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat for the building of rhyming words.” Barbara lives with her husband, Kim, on a farm in Cashmere, WA, where they raise cherries and pears. Their five grandchildren provide lots of first-hand experience with the antics that inspire Barbara’s stories.
